     Warm sunny days and cold mornings.  My fingers are icy this morning. I broke a drinking glass in the kitchen sink yesterday. I thought I removed all the glass from the sink, and garbage disposal.  My roommate has a small cut on her hand this morning. More work to be done.

     The Highlands baker brings a fresh loaf of bread to us. And of course lots of good conversations. Good bread.

     My roommate sits outside in the dark holding the friendly black cat. I sit inside watching the evening news. All good news for awhile as the new legislators learn the ropes. No reported ICE events yesterday in our county.

     I am now reading A MAP OF FUTURE RUINS, on Borders and Belonging by Lauren Markham. A non fiction look at the stories we tell ourselves and believe about immigrants and settlers. Challenging to read and interesting. In the evening, I watch TV by myself while my roommate is on zoom meetings. Same old TV detective stories for me. The boring president is trying out unsuccessful ways to get our attention.
